Saturday morning, 12th January 2013, 10AM - I woke up to a very nice surprise... My laptop screen would only repeat these words, "Operating System Not Found" and fail to get past the "Starting Windows" stage.
I tried everything I could, it did crash once or twice but I was able to restart it and fix it somehow... but it came to handing it over to the Sony Service Center, and lost all hope when they had told me the minimum labor pay for the data recovery was 200$! I know how extensive the damage is (because I tried bringing it in at a local computer repair shop, and gave me a refund as they couldn't fix it) and on top of that, it would be at least 175$ more to replace the software and hard drive!
... might as well buy a brand new laptop.
My most recent back up was 3 years ago, but I'm 90% sure that the scanned manhwa files are still there!! (because I've had them since... forever) So once my dad comes for a visit this weekend, I'll be able to continue scanlating~ *crosses fingers*
*sigh* all my artwork, my most recent, almost-finished-commission which took 9234 hours, my stories, hundreds of OC art I've bought with a bazillion Gaia Gold, and my collections of Kim Jaejoong!! gone! all gone! ;________;
..........................................OTL *sobs* /rant
On a brighter note, I've been thinking of doing a Sesskag doujinshi... and making a tumblr account (posting random, mostly-useless-stuff there, while I upload tutorials/ tips/ commissions/ scanlations here). Tell me what you guys think!
Ah! And also thinking of a weekly sketch for random requests posted on the forums (yup, made a forum on the website! I was so happy to find out that you could without being a premium member) :D
